If you build a settlement on his road, you disrupt it yes. See also: catan-longest-road-clarification. You can build on any place if:

The settlement blocks your road if it appears at the end of your road, that is if one of your roads comes off it. If it is in the middle of your road, so that there are two of your roads coming off it, you can keep building at both ends, but the settlement splits the road in two when counting for longest road.Feb 14, 2007

Full Answer

What is the longest road in a settlement?

In Settlers, players get two victory points for having the "longest road". This is defined to be: The longest contiguous single path (measured in roads) from start point to end point, that is not broken up by an opponents settlement or city.

How many segments long is the longest road?

The Argument: One friend was arguing that because the road is not broken by another player, it is 10 segments long while another was arguing that the longest road should be able to be taken in 1 trip, so it is 8 segments long. We know that the rule is given as.

How do embankments and filled areas get settled?

Settlement of embankments and filled areas can occur as a result of any or all of the following forms of load which are divided into "internal" and "external" forms of loading in the following sections: settlement of the fill due to loads placed upon the fill (e.g. by structures).

When should the major part of settlement be induced?

In some cases, the major part of the settlement should be induced before the filled area is required to be used.

Does a settlement break a road?

Yes, settlements do break up other player's roads. If the blue player has a road that is six segments long, and the red player builds a settlement between two of the blue roads, than we say that the blue player's road is "broken".

Can you continue a road through a settlement?

No. If you build a new road, it must always connect to one of your own roads, settlements, or cities. In the situation depicted above, the blue player would not be connecting his road piece to his own road but to the red player's settlement, which the rule prohibits.

Can you build a road after someone's settlement?

A: Yes. You may build new roads or settlements anywhere that you have already built to. You do not need to be able to trace a route back to where you began the game. While a broken road makes your route shorter for purposes of the Longest Road card, you are not prohibited from building on either side of the break.

Can you interrupt a road with a settlement Catan?

Yes, if you add the new road piece to one of your own roads. The blue player may build the road piece marked with "*", even though his continuous road is interrupted by the red settlement.

How does longest road work in Catan?

The Longest Road is a special card included in Catan and is worth 2 victory points. The first player to have 5 or more continuous road segments, from one point to another without doubling back, may claim this card. If a different player gains a longer continuous road, they may claim the card from the current holder.

Can settlements be next to each other?

Additionally, the placement of new settlements must follow the distance rule. That rule states that settlements must be at least two intersections away from any other settlement or city. In other words, settlements cannot be built one space away from another settlement or city.

How do you block the longest road in Catan?

You can break an opponent's road by building a settlement on an open intersection along his road! On page 8, in the example, Emily has the longest road card with 7 segments. She has two houses within those 7 segments. This was also answered directly in the online FAQ as pointed out by @shemmon.

What are road settlements?

A drop of the pavement's layers, normally due to the compaction of these or of the underlying layers. The settling of pavements normally causes vertical unconformities that from certain aspects can even affect the traffic. Cracks form assisting water seepage to the lower layers.

What are the benefits of road widening?

But if we widen the roads, there will be much less probable chance for speed crashes since the speed limit will go higher because of more space, there will be much less traffic, and there will be much wider roads for more maneuverability. Making the roads much more safer.

Output

All players that have a road of the longest length (it could be more than one if there are ties), followed by a whitespace and/or underscore delimited count in base 10 of how long that road is.

The Problem statement

You may write a program or function, receives the input board via STDIN or as a string argument to your function, which returns the output described above as a string or prints it to STDOUT (or closest alternative). You may optionally include a single trailing newline in the output.

What should a designer assess for fill material and compaction requirements?

The designer should assess the fill material and compaction requirements to limit settlement to an acceptable magnitude (both settlement of the fill and due to imposed load), which might require greater compactive effort than SHW [ 1 ].

What is SHW in construction?

The SHW [ 1] has been developed and should be used for infrastructure embankments which are generally of limited height (i.e. up to 15 m), where the trapezoidal shape of the body of fill and nature of construction enables dissipation of a large proportion of excess porewater pressure during construction provided the specification is followed. Consequently, it should be borne in mind that for these embankments self-weight settlement is not usually a major controlling factor in determining the design other than at locations where differential settlement is a concern (e.g. at the approach to an underbridge).

How much settlement is required for an embankment?

For conventional infrastructure embankments, it is normal practice to adopt an experience based approach of assuming 0,5% to 1% of embankment height as self-weight settlement (an approximation typical of clay fills compacted wet of optimum moisture content). In addition it may be necessary to include a monitored hold period once the earthworks reach full height (or are surcharged at a higher level) and prior to completion of any sensitive elements of the infrastructure upon the earthworks. Where the magnitude of the settlement needs to be calculated, this may be done based on the equations presented by Trenter [ 35 ]:

What causes settlement of embankments?

Settlement of embankments and filled areas can occur as a result of any or all of the following forms of load which are divided into "internal" and "external" forms of loading in the following sections: settlement of the fill due to loads placed upon the fill (e.g. by structures). Additional movement can occur due to seasonal changes in moisture ...

What is the D modulus?

D is the constrained modulus, which can be approximated as 1/ mv or can be based on values obtained from large diameter oedometer testing or site monitoring as summarized by Trenter [ 35 ].

What are ground movements in earthworks?

Ground movements within the fill due to a rise in overall water table within the fill are also a concern for earthworks built in areas prone to flooding; for all earthworks, designers should consider whether there are areas where concentrated infiltration of surface water can be expected, and whether this could be sufficient to generate ground movements. In many earthworks situations water pipelines will be present and leaks from these pipes commonly result in ground movements, which is difficult to fully mitigate against; however, the designer may include measures to ensure that settlement has completed prior to installation of the pipe runs, and consider whether there are any locations where a leaking pipe could lead to a major failure.

Why is there additional movement in soil?

Additional movement can occur due to seasonal changes in moisture content of cohesive soils. This is not a form of settlement (since the movement is recoverable), however the additional movement can be incorrectly interpreted as being part of the settlement. There are likely to be significant differences in the forms of settlement affecting ...
